Ghanaian Connections: Ed Sheeran and the Question of Race. A recent TikTok video sparked a conversation about racial identity, using the example of Ed Sheeran. The video points to Ed Sheeran's numerous visits to Ghana, collaborations with Ghanaian artists, and songs recorded in the Twi language. It also highlights a Ghanaian flag tattoo on Sheeran's body.
